Chapter 191
Of course, Annie could tell that the Williams family was not fond of Skylar. She guessed that the main reason for their dislike was because of Maisy’s meddling. Annie would like it very much if Maisy stirred up more trouble for Skylar and made her the laughingstock In Jipsburg.
Otherwise, she had no way of venting the pent–up anger she felt due to the recent setbacks she and her family faced. Her life had been smooth sailing all these years. Yet, Skylar disrupted it single–handedly. Whenever she thought of this, she got so furious that her blood would boll.
Maisy remained dazed for half an hour. When the security guard working at the TV station noticed her strange demeanor and came to inquire if she was alright, she finally snapped out of her reverie.
Her hands balled into fists when she returned to her senses. Her icy fingertips pierced into her painfully. The raging jealousy within her caused her eyes to appear bloodshot.

If it was really as she suspected, Skylar was one really lucky bitch. She thought of the silhouette she saw
back at the auction house. Could that have been Skylar?
Then, she recalled the time when she ran into Joe. Even though Paul was always the one to step forward
to speak, Joe had been present.
“Damn it, Skylar. You can’t be that lucky, can you? Your boyfriend cheated on you and slept with me behind your back! You’re only worthy of settling down with an old fart. How the hell can you end up with Joe Martin? No… This isn’t true! I don’t believe this!” Maisy ranted.
Just then, her phone started ringing. She answered it in a fluster. “Hello, Peter.”
“Did you meet Annie? What did she say? Who’s the one behind Skylar?” Peter asked hurriedly, eager to

Maisy was reluctant to divulge the information. If everyone in the Williams family knew that Joe was backing Skylar, they might try to make amends with her and beg her to return to the family.
By then, would Maisy still have a place in the Williams family? The answer was clear as day. That was why Maisy decided that as long as she was around, Skylar must not be accepted into the Williams family at all
costs.
“Annie didn’t say anything. I think she doesn’t know much. She was just curious about Skylar and our family’s affairs, so she asked me about it. I’m sorry, Peter. I wanted to be of help to the family and you, but I ended being unable to help at all.”
Peter fell silent for a few seconds. Then, he said somewhat irritably, “I know you did your best. Don’t blame yourself. There’s a lot going on at home recently. Take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry. You and Dad need to take good care too. I believe our company will get through this difficult time,” Maisy sald.
“Okay.” Peter hung up.
After the call, Maisy searched for a video online using her phone. She found a video of Annie Interviewing
